Scrotoplasty at OpenMed Warsaw
Scrotoplasty is a procedure in the field of urological surgery and male intimate surgery, performed to correct the shape, size, or tension of the scrotal skin. The procedure can be both functional and aesthetic in nature. If you experience discomfort during physical activity, problems related to excess scrotal skin, or want to consult about the appearance of the intimate area, we invite you to OpenMed in Warsaw (Wola). The doctor carries out the qualification consultation and helps select the optimal solution tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
The scrotum is a skin-muscle sac containing the testicles and epididymides. Its structure and tension are important not only aesthetically but also functionally. Excessive stretching of the skin can cause discomfort during walking, running, cycling, or intercourse. In some men the problem appears with age, in others it is related to anatomical predispositions, weight loss, or previous conditions and procedures in the intimate area.
When is it worth considering scrotoplasty?
The decision to seek a consultation most often results from complaints affecting quality of life. Excess scrotal skin can lead to irritation, chafing, and a feeling of pulling during everyday activities. Some patients also report psychological discomfort related to the appearance of the intimate area.
The most common indications for consultation include:
- excessively stretched or flaccid scrotal skin,
- discomfort during physical activity and intercourse,
- recurrent chafing and skin irritation,
- asymmetry or deformities resulting from injuries, procedures, or previous conditions.
During the visit the doctor assesses whether the problem is purely aesthetic or also functional and requiring treatment.

What does the qualification consultation look like?
The process begins with a detailed medical interview. The doctor asks about complaints, previous procedures, chronic diseases, and expectations related to the treatment outcome. An examination of the scrotal area and genitals is then performed, which allows assessment of the extent of the changes and the exclusion of conditions requiring separate management.
If necessary, the doctor may recommend additional diagnostics, for example a scrotal ultrasound. The aim of the consultation is not only to assess the possibility of performing the procedure but also to discuss the expected effects, the healing process, and potential limitations.
What scrotoplasty involves
Scrotoplasty involves the surgical correction of excess skin or anatomical abnormalities within the scrotum. The scope of the procedure is determined individually and depends on the type of problem and the patient's expectations. The aim of the procedure is to improve comfort of functioning, reduce the complaints associated with excess skin, and achieve a more proportional appearance of the intimate area.
During the consultation the doctor explains in detail the course of the procedure, how to prepare for it, and the recommendations regarding the recovery period. This way the patient can make an informed decision about further treatment.
Recovery and effects of the procedure
The healing period depends on the extent of the correction performed and the individual predispositions of the body. In the first weeks after the procedure it is necessary to limit intense physical exertion and to follow the doctor's recommendations. Regular follow-up visits make it possible to monitor the healing process and assess the treatment outcome.
For many patients, scrotoplasty means improved comfort in everyday functioning, greater freedom during physical activity, and greater self-confidence. However, each case is assessed individually, which is why a prior specialist consultation is a key stage.
